On Monday, October 26, 2026, the Faculty of Dental Medicine and Health Osijek hosted its October Scientific Forum entitled “Tooth Out – What’s Next?”, featuring a lecture delivered by Assoc. Prof. Željka Perić Kačarević, PhD. On behalf of the Faculty and the Scientific Forum, all attendees were greeted by Assoc. Prof. Robert Lovrić, PhD, Vice-Dean for Science and Postgraduate Studies, and Assoc. Prof. Tea Omanović Kolarić, PhD, Vice-Dean for Teaching and Students.
The lecture attracted a considerable interest by students from all years of the Dental Medicine study programme, providing them with an opportunity to expand their knowledge of contemporary approaches to tissue preservation following tooth extraction and emerging possibilities in dental implant treatment.
Through a highly engaging and dynamic presentation, enriched with real clinical cases, Assoc. Prof. Željka Perić Kačarević introduced students to the importance of socket preservation, the application of modern regenerative techniques and biomaterials, and the possibilities offered by new generations of dental implants.
A particularly valuable aspect of the lecture was its integration of theoretical knowledge with real-life clinical scenarios, providing students with meaningful insights into the challenges of everyday dental practice, the importance of individualized patient care, and current developments in dental implantology.
We sincerely thank Assoc. Prof. Željka Perić Kačarević for her outstanding and inspiring lecture, as well as all the students whose enthusiastic participation contributed to the success of the October Scientific Forum.
